Desert plants have several adaptations that allow them to survive. Their roots go deeper than plants in moister climates, to maximize water intake. They don't have leaves, which allow water to evaporate.
Yes, man and plants can and do survive in the desert and have done so for thousands of years.
Desert plants have adapted to the extremes of heat and aridity by using both physical and behavioral mechanisms.

Most desert plants are vascular. Few non-vascular plants can survive in the desert.
Desert where only xerophytic plants can survive.
Tea needs a lot of water and general humidity to grow. Deserts lack water and humidity, therefore tea plants are ill-equipped to survive in the desert.
Because the desert is too arid for them to survive.
Because the desert is too arid for them to survive.
Many plants in the desert produce flowers. That is their method of sexual reproduction and required for the plants to survive and propagate.
In a desert environment, the presence of water is crucial for the growth of plants. Water helps plants to survive and thrive by providing hydration for photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and overall growth. Without enough water, plants in the desert may struggle to grow, reproduce, and ultimately survive.
Few plants (and animals) survive in the Atacama Desert, including the mountains.
Yes, desert plants have vacuoles. Vacuoles are present in plant cells and play a crucial role in storing water, nutrients, and waste products, which is particularly important for desert plants to survive in arid environments.
